I vehemently disagree with this notion.
In the case of Blizzard, I won't play Diablo 4 because I really think they have been making shit games for more than a decade. But I don't fault anyone that will play Diablo 4. People like what they like.
The cases of abuse and harassment at Blizzard are known and well documented. If the powers that be refuse to act in order to punish the people and corporation involved, why do we offload that responsibility onto consumers?
- shrimp_emoji 3y agoDiablo Immortal makes more than any other game they've made. So, the shittier something is (ethically, substantively), the more money it makes. Money really is the root of all evil. Therefore, boycotting something because it's bad makes less sense than buying it because it's bad. QED
- JohnFen 3y agoI don't fault anyone for making choices different from mine. > why do we offload that responsibility onto consumers? I don't view it as offloading anything onto customers. I view it as me deciding what sort of company I'm willing to keep and what sort of behavior I'm willing to support.
- anonymousab 3y ago> why do we offload that responsibility onto consumers? Giving money to a company is rewarding all of their behaviours, in aggregate. Because that's what a company is.
